Banana Chip Muffins

Have you ever Googled “skipping breakfast”? This search will turn up over 1 million result, most are focused on how healthy this meal is in comparison to lunch and dinner. According to an NPD Group survey, a shocking 31 million Americans do not eat breakfast. Even more scary, many consider the empty carb, high sugar foods such as pastries or cereals as a wholesome way to start the day. In my experience, this kind of start leads to a very quick and abrupt stop. Blood sugar drops, cravings set in and in some cases – mood swings.

Excitingly, a Google search on “balance breakfast” returns 46 million results. I’m optimistic that’s because we are getting smarter about the important role food plays in our lives! Some examples of balanced breakfasts include eggs, whole grain toast, whole-grain pancakes and oatmeal. But in my busy house with food sensitivities and the need to be out the door by 7am for work and school, I must have a quick option to fall back on. I’m sure you can relate… Either we’re out of time or just not hungry…

The Banana-Chip Muffin fits the profile. A sugar, soy, gluten and dairy free muffin that is full of flavor without compromising health. Enjoy with a warm cup of tea or grab one on the way out the door. This muffin is just as good for breakfast as it is an afternoon snack!!
